All the problems we encounter day to day dont even compair to the worst life can throw at us. May God be with Kyle and the other family who were affected by this. Its a sad day...
Finally indeed. I work at the Sears in Sarasota and it was an hour trip vs 30min under normal conditions. Speaking of which if your looking for any good deals on lawn and garden/tools stuff let me know. I'm the manager of that dept.

Last night as I drove by a FORD dealer in Pasadena, CA. I saw a couple of G-orange Shelby GT's. The price tag listed 62K yike! For that you could get a ROUSH P-51 supercharged w/ forged internals. What is Shelby thinking with 29K markup? I wonder what the economy will due to the value of these cars as sales come to a standstill on performance rides.

yeah, there's a stealership near here that has not 1 but 2 bullitts, because they want(ed) 20k ADM, idk what it is now, i havent bothered to go back by. If they sell one for that much more, they have truly proved that there is indeed a sucker born everyday

Last week we went to Cars & Coffee and we saw a Super Snake. I was surprised to see that the air filter was located in the engine bay. Kenne Bell was really serious about having the intake filter outside of the engine bay to capture cold air. I don't know if the Super Snake hood solves that issue? Hummmmm
See Kenne Bell document attached.

That's cool, good to know! We have to hook up some time and check out each others rides!
I will call them later this morning, until then, I'm clueless on the status.
Ahh Vegas.. could have easily stayed another night. Weather of course was hot, but still had a great time.
At my hotel, they had a 2008 Torch Red GT that could be won on a 50 cent slot machine.. I was tempted to try and win it just so I could have a Mustang to drive around in.

looks like a good time bill! That looks like a great coaster on that last shot. Almost as good as the one on top of the skyscraper
The rollercoaster on top of the Stratosphere is no longer there, got replaced with a couple other rides (if you can believe that!).
Swanson called and told me they are 'in-process' and that the new motor is on the stand and looking good. I'm planning on stopping by there today for a visual update.

Looks like they just tore down the rollercoaster. Unless they added even more than the 3 listed above... Bill?

How would you like to work on that Tom? I wasn't too comfortable when I was at the top of the Maliboomer in DCA, I cant imagine working on the crap a 1000 ft up in the air
I can see that it'll be more fun in November (SEMA) with the fellas since I won't have to worry about the girls (especially the older one) who was getting hit on every 20 feet.
Things are happening over at Swansons.. finally.
As I suspected, he was waiting for his mechanic to come back from his awol status, but it's not looking good for his return. So, Danny finally put the wrench to my car and started it himself.
Stock busted motor should be out of my car this week.
New shortblock appears to be perfect along with the piston coatings.
No completion date given as it totally depends on the condition of the heads. Was told that once pulled, and it looks perfect and undamaged, it'll be my call as to whether it gets sent out for dissasembly and inspection. Otherwise, it'll go straight on my new shortblock. This will save me $$$ if I skip the machine shop. I will make this call when the time comes along with Danny's professional opinion.

I think that's about it on the Stratosphere. I rode on the Big Shot and X-Scream before, but not that swing ride over the ledge.
Thanks George!
